All is quiet….

When you DON’T have a 2 year old running around your house!  We have had a relatively quiet week as far as things needing to be done, but Gracie has not been quiet…at all.  She is cutting her two year old molars which means that she is having mood swings that can put a pregnant woman to shame.  (That was one of my worst things I dealt with during my pregnancy…I would be happy as could be one second and .5 seconds later I was a mess.)  So it has been a lot of crying, whining, laughing, giggling…you get the idea.  You can just picture a little girl with a bright red face, tears streaming down her cheeks, laughing hysterically because a mood swing took over.  I will not be sad when these teeth come all the way through.

She is saying  a lot of cute phrases too.  I have been trying to get them on video, but for some reason, lately she has been camera shy!  I know, it doesn’t seem possible when you constantly have a camera in your face. ha!  A few of her most used phrases currently are:

• OH my goodness!
• Your kidding me.
• Oh Man!

She also has been singing this welcome song they sing at school.  It goes a little something like this:

Gracie’s here today, Gracie’s here today. Hi, ho did you know? Gracie’s here today.  (To the song Farmer in the Dell.)

We have been singing everyone is here today, from Mommy and Daddy to Sleeping Beauty (her favorite princess, which she pronounces Sleeping Doody) to Mommy’s Soap in the bath tub.  It is so cute.  I did manage to get it on video which I will post this weekend.

Nothing else has been going on.  We have settled into a routine for the summer though.  Gracie is adamant that she has her pool time daily.  It is great to let her get some of her energy out before she comes in and settles down for the night.  She loves her pool!!!

Her hair is a mess in these pictures but they are cute.  The top one her telling me that “I’m Gracie.”  The bottom one is such a pure Gracie smile, I had to post it!

   

These pictures are from today.  She insisted on wearing this swimming suit which is a 12-18 month one from last summer.   Amazingly, even with a massive growth spurt over the last 3 months, it still fit her.

And to leave you with one more funny Gracie story, last night we were watching the CMT awards.  Gracie has become little miss independent thinking everything has to be her way.  Her way means clothing is optional.  So she decided to strip down to nothing.  Every time “her song” (which is pretty much every song) came on, she would get up and dance around like a wild monkey.  Well, when they would announce a winner, she would clap and scream in congratulations like she was the only reason why they had been chosen for the award.  It was so funny.  I wanted to get it on video, but the shyness came out again and she wouldn’t do it!  But you get the idea!

Tomorrow is Friday…WOOO HOOOO!  I can’t wait for the weekend.  Enjoy your Friday everyone!
